There are actually three commonly used temperature scales used in the world today. In the U.S. the Fahrenheit scale is commonly used. In scientific research and throughout most of the western world the Celsius, or centigrade scale is most commonly used. In some special cases a very low register scale, Kelvin is used.

∙ 13y agoThe standard temperature scale as defined by the International Systems organisation and the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry is the Kelvin. Kelvin degree size is the same as Celsius degree size, however, Kelvin starts at ) and Celsius starts at 273 K. 0 oC = 273 K
Fahrenheit is a temperature scale also used (based on the temperature of the body and ice mixed with ammonium chloride).

What is the temperature at which a liquid turns into a gas?
the temperature at which a liquid turns into a gas is called the boiling point.
When will the liquid boil?
When the temperature reaches the correct temperature (boiling point).
What happens to the temperature of a liquid as it changes from a liquid to a vapor?
The liquid vaporizes and the temperature increases as the volume also increases.
What is the boiling point degrees in Fahrenheit?
At sea level the boiling temperature of water is 212o Fahrenheit. At different air pressures the boiling temperature changes. Higher air pressures require higher temperatures to boil. For example, if you go to a mountain top you could lower air pressure until water could boil at say 99o Fahrenheit. If you change substances, from water to something else, that substance would have its own individual boiling temperature, the point at which it changes from liquid to gas.
Explain why the boiling point and the melting point can be used to help identify substances-?
It's because substances have different boiling point and freezing point. By finding the exact boiling point and freezing point, you can identify a substance. Keep in mind that a material's melting point is the same as its freezing point. These are just different terms for the same thing, it just depends on whether energy is being removed from a substance (freezing) or if energy is being added to a substance (melting). The same thing also applies to the boiling/condensation point.
What is relative temperature?
Celsius and Fahrenheit are relative (standardized using the melting and boiling point of water) temperature scales. Kelvin is an absolute, thermodinamic based, temperature scale.
What three standard points define the common temperature scales?
Absolute zero, melting/freezing point of pure water, and boiling point of pure water.
When was the boiling point of water established?
Slightly back to front. People have been boiling water for ages the "boiling point" ie when it goes from liquid to gas happens at a certain temperature - we choose to call this temperature 100 degrees C (or 212F or 373K) The temperature scales were set up in 1724 for F and 1744 for C and 1848 for K In fact the temperature of boiling water was used as a fixed point to setup C from which K is based.
What is the temperature a liquid boils at called?
This is the boiling point.
What is it called the temperature at which a liquid boils?
It is the Boiling point.
What is the freezing point and boiling point of a metal?
Boiling point: the temperature when a material become a gas phase.
What is the point at which a liquids vapor pressure equals the atmospheric pressure?
This temperature is called the boiling point, and indicates the temperature at which a liquid will assume a gaseous state, given the addition of the heat of vaporization.That is the boiling point.
What is the boiling point for metal?
Boiling point: the temperature when vapours of the material are formed.
What is the boiling point of water on the Fahrenheit and Celsius scales?
212f 100c
How does a substance's boiling point determine its state at room temperature?
If the substance's boiling point is lower than room temperature, it is probably a gas. If the boiling point is higher, it will be a liquid.
What is the temperature at which a liquid turns into a gas?
the temperature at which a liquid turns into a gas is called the boiling point.
What do terms ''boiling point'' and '' freezing point '' mean?
Boiling point is the temperature at which a liquid changes into a gas. Freezing point is the temperature at which a liquid changes into a solid.
